Is Matter Around Us Pure?

Question:

(a) What is meant by a solution ? Give two examples of solutions.
(b)What is a suspension ? Give two examples of suspensions.
(c)

Answer:

(a)A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two (or more substances). A homogeneous mixture means that the mixture is just the same throughout. Some common examples of solutions are : Salt solution, Sugar
(b)A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the small particles of a solid are spread throughout a liquid without dissolving in it. Some common examples of suspensions are : Chalk-water mixture, Muddy water,
(c)A colloid is a kind of solution in which the size of solute particles is intermediate between those in true solutions and those in suspensions.exampl-milk,ink
